You could try to enable the macro at the top of unicodectype.c:
 
#if defined(macintosh) || defined(MS_WIN64)
/*XXX This was required to avoid a compiler error for an early Win64
 * cross-compiler that was used for the port to Win64. When the platform is
 * released the MS_WIN64 inclusion here should no longer be necessary.
 */
/* This probably needs to be defined for some other compilers too. It breaks the
** 5000-label switch statement up into switches with around 1000 cases each.
*/
#define BREAK_SWITCH_UP return 1; } switch (ch) {
#else
#define BREAK_SWITCH_UP /* nothing */
#endif

If it does compile with the work-around enabled, please
give us a set of defines which identify the compiler and
platform so we can enable it per default for your setup.
